Re: /MT and /MD

As "Carl Daniel" explained, with /MT and /MD you choose between LIBCMT (LIBC
for Multi Threaded Apps) and MSVCRT (MS Visual C++ Run Time DLL).

No debug info implied here! Use can use MSVCRT to share runtime code between
apps - makes your apps smaller!)...

If you want to link all runtime code to your app you can use /MT (or /ML if
you aren't using threads). If you don't want all that stuff in your EXE or
DLL, you can use /MD

To link libs with debug info just add another 'd' at the end of the option:
/MTd, /MDd or /MLd.

No, not at all. /MT vs /MD simply changes the DEFAULTLIB linker directive
that the compiler emits into the object file(s) that tells the linker
which CRT library to link with. Any other libraries are your
responsibility. A given library is either a static library or a DLL
import library - you don't have a choice to link it one way or the other.
